TREND ALERT! Dark and Bold Lips Hit the Red Carpet. By: Alexa Ronsivalli

During this fall and winter season, bold and dark lip colors have been hitting the red carpet and the streets more than ever before! Various celebrities and runway models have inspired the everyday woman to rock this look.

When venturing into the reds, burgundy's, and plums, it is important to keep the rest of the face simple. This will keep all of the attention on the lips.

A neutral eye look with champagne and light brown shadow works best for bold lips. Add a touch of black winged eyeliner, mascara, a quick fill in of the brows and voila! You have the perfect start to your lipstick.

Here's an example of a perfect neutral eye look:



Next let's talk about the lips!
